Well that is a good question. Surely an orgasm (cumming) would make it go away, that's not always the case. Most erections go away on their own without the need for anything to be done. It's the same as when a woman gets wet when aroused; it goes away after a while if you shift your mind to something else and are no longer thinking about anything sexual. Men have an average of 11 erections a day and you can't expect them to orgasm each time an erection pops up. Men can experience erections that are not of a sexual nature. I tend to get many non-sexual erections. These erections pop up randomly when sex isn't even on my mind and no where near the state of arousal. Of course this is by no means exactly the same thing, but when a girl is "wet", it does not always mean that she's aroused!
0 0 0 0Sounds like a legitimate question. So, I'll take a stab at it. (Wednesday", said she likes stabbing, LOL) My personal experience, tells me, even though it is frustrating, an erection will 'go down" without ejaculation, but for me some blood still stays in the penis and it does not got back to the same, very relaxed, flaccid state that it was in before. I think the same thing happens with your clitoris? My girlfriend said that her clit will stay 'sensitive' and somewhat swollen until she orgasms.

there's a common condition called epididymal hypertension, aka 'blue balls.' i never believed it was real until someone on this site showed me the page about it. a guy with this condition doesn't have to cum before it gets soft, but if he goes soft without cumming he'll experience pain. i am not sure how painful it is. i have the opposite problem—i experience pain after ejaculating. it's really painful! yowch! but thankfully it doesn't happen every time.
0 1 0 0Nope. I’ve had sex many times and not cum by choice. For me it all about her satisfaction. I’ve gone for hours taken a break in the middle, gone soft and then continue. For some guys it can be frustrating but it won’t kill them.

2 26If I have a long sex session I can go hard and soft consistently for hours on end, mostly without issue. This is more of an all day, or more commonly: an all night foreplay leading up to sex. At the most, my vas deferens and my penis get sore, but the latter is pain from being an erection confined to underwear for a long time.
Otherwise on the daily if I'm not getting any and pop a random boner, it's no issue. It will go flaccid usually without pain or discomfort. I've had blue balls before and while it hurts, it's more of a dull ache, like a mild slap to the eye. Balls are very much like eyes in a lot of ways so if your eyes are neither itchy, nor stinging and just a bit sore like if a book or a cabinet hit your face then it's not that bad.
0 0 0 0If aroused/turned-on, we're hard.
If not aroused/turned-off, we go soft.
Climaxing is not required to go soft again.0 0 0 0Having a great orgasm helps,,, if not he has to chill until it goes soft
0 0 0 0I don't have to cum when I get hard. But it is somewhat uncomfortable to get hard and just leave it there.
I just ignore my erections as best I can when I get hard and I can't take care of it.
0 0 0 0I depends. @laura_marx has a great answer. But there's also times where, no, a guy doesn't have to come. You'll get soft again. It can be frustrating/uncomfortable/occasionally mildly painful but eventually you'll get soft again. Erections in the middle of the night are a great example, as is morning wood.

@Laura_Marx ... you're most welcome; yours was an awesome answer.
Not always, But i think it's usually the case when we are actually horny because we get "Blue Balls" if we don't cum in that state, Not other times, We are hard sometimes for no reason at all and it's totally fine if we don't cum
0 0 0 0No I don't have to cum. It'll eventually go down on it's own
0 0 0 0A guy doesn't have to cum to go soft again, but an exciting cum is certainly preferred.
0 1 0 0What if it's not the time or place for an exciting cum 😬
That happens more often than we guys like to talk about it.
What do u do about it
No, guys get hard and then soft all the time. No cum is needed.
Blue balls doesn't exactly come from just being hard for a while but not fucking, it comes from the expectation of getting fucked and then, NOT getting fucked!! All those little guys are in his balls getting the message that they're gonna be going on a cruise so, they pack up their bags are are ready to go, waiting at the door by the the thousands and then they find out the trip was cancelled and then they all try to go back and unpack at the same time but they can't all get through the door at the same time.2 0 0 0Nah. Guys can go soft without cumming without issue. It's just mildly disappointing lol
1 0 0 0I would prefer if he did. can't leave him hanging. Lol
1 5 0 0When my penis is erect and I haven’t ejaculated and something else comes up, say someone rings the doorbell, I’ll get up, pull my underwear briefs and pants up, quickly wash my hands and see what’s going on. If there is a delivery, my mind is automatically on the next task and my penis returns to normal flaccid state.
0 0 0 0Yeah, its a whole lot easier on our prostate and testicles. They won't cramp up.
Why? Just kinda strange question about a certain body function.
0 0 0 0You can go back to being soft again if you don't choose to ejaculate. However, in most cases the horniness is still going to be there in your mind.
0 0 0 0We get hard all the time. Doesn’t mean we have to cum.
0 1 0 0Is it uncomfortable if u don't?
It can feel that way depending. But no it can also get hard and then get soft
OK if u were in a room full of people wouldn't it show?
If I'm hard for a while I have to cum. It begins to get painful
0 0 0 0I didn't know that
0 1 0 0It really depends on how aroused he is. Every guy is different.
0 0 0 0he will be super horny and hard to get the pleasure by cum
0 0 0 0It all depends on whether he wants too or not.
